I took my ABS out to the kitchen table to work on so had the same bleed problem, a slow measured push, one at a time, quickly filled the lines. Then a power bleed from each corner finished it.
Its probably easier to do it this way than with a nanocom,, not much can go wrong with just a toggle switch to operate;)

Bet you can't clear codes though!! ;)

Well, I could have just posted "Search is your friend, look in The Good Oil" ...

... but I'd probably be accused of starting to sound like you, Pedro :p

It's all about information dissemination ... ;)

You need to put F@!^, S@=# and C@¥% in front first. If you happen to have a swearjar, this will definitely bring forth additional $$.$$ to go with your $$$.$$!

You remove the relay and you will see four holes where the relay was plugged in. Two will be for the relay coil and the other two, the ones you want, will be for the relay contacts.

To perform the power bleed the "foot" operator shorts out the two sockets (with any wire that will fit the hole) where the contacts are. This causes the ABS pump motor to run. The other operator opens the bleed nipple on each brake in turn as per the manual bleed procedure.

So the procedure is you would open a bleed nipple then short out the ABS pump contact. Let it run for about 60 seconds. Close the nipple and stop the pump. Repeat for the other three wheels.

I was not looking forward to replacing all the fluid in my system after replacing Pads, Discs and Caliper Guides, then I found this method, and including set up, clean up and pack away, the whole process took me 90 minutes to flush my complete system. Brakes are now great.

Thanks to Ron for the tip!!

So for a total fluuid replacement you should perform three bleeds?

Standard foot pump bleed, power bleed then modulator bleed? Or just the Power Bleed allowing the fluid to pump through clean.

I just replaced a modulator on a 110 Defender, used near on a litre of fluid to flush and bleed the whole system.
It didn't need a power bleed, just bleed the system once, then go round again with a fast pedal stroke.

Sorry, for a D2. If it makes a difference. With the ABS etc...

With Nanocom you buy a license for a D2 V8 or a D2 TD5. Unless you pay for 2 licenses then it will only work on the variant you paid the fee for.:mad:

*With Hawkeye, you buy a license for the vehicle say Discovery 2 and it will do both V8 and TD5:)

That is actually incorrect.

With the Nanocom's the only difference between the V8 and Td5 coverage is the engine ECU. Both cover SLABS, Autobox, SRS, ACE plus the ECU you have chosen. If you own a Td5 license and want to help out a mate with a V8 D2, you can access every ECU except the V8 Motronic ECU. That means you can do a ABS bleed on any D2 regardless of whether you have a Td5 or V8 license.
